Abstract: An elongated, cast concrete block including a top, bottom, two ends and two sides has a median, vertical, longitudinal slot formed therein for the retention of a bicycle wheel. A locking channel extends through the block from an opening on one end of the block to an opening on one side of the block. The channel is sloped and is lined with polyvinyl chloride pipe to afford a smooth, uninterrupted surface which, when aided by the force of gravity, facilitates the insertion of a bicycle locking chain, or cable, downwardly through the channel and out the other end so that a bicycle can readily be chained to the stand.A reinforcing bar inside the concrete block at least partially encircles the pipe and thus "hardens" the installation against attempts to steal the bicycle by rupturing the concrete in the vicinity of the locking channel.
